I love you, Rebecca. You shold git mareed. Just not to me.

Typical Shawn.

Jesus H. Chris, pluquaa. I'm just trying to decide if you were drunk when you left this comment or not drunk enough.

Yeah, that's why I pointed that out in my article which I hope you read all the way through because I view it as a sign of how much you love me AND I WOULD BE DEAD WITHOUT YOUR LOVE AND VALIDATION. YOU GUYS HAVE NO IDEA.

3 months? My guess is that Shawn had forgotten the entire conversation by the end of his next meal. The only woman he's loyal to is his Mom. Who makes the PBJ sandwiches that he craves.

It's now more than three weeks since I've heard from my boyfriend of eleven months. I'm going to send him this. But I'll probably add a little profanity.

Well, little girl or freshman at Arizona State.

Meh. My rapist has a sister. And I promise you she'd believe him, even though we were friendly and she liked me. And, you know, he raped me. She would believe him. I think of this every time someone says "I know him and I know he's not capable of this!"

But even people who are loved by you are capable of awful things. You can love an support someone, but there's no justice in not at least considering someone's story just because they're accusing someone close to you.

After a brief foray into the comments section:

It's not a surprise, but it would have been better if she had not said anything publicly about it for Dylan's sake. If I had a friend who was accused of molestation, and I believed them, I still wouldn't say anything out of respect for the accuser.

Well, that isn't surprising at all. If your brother was accused of sexual assault, would you believe him, someone that you have known and loved all your life, or some random woman you have no connection with? I'd believe my brother, absolutely. Apparently, she believes her friend and has strong reasons to do so. Is…

OH MY GOD, thank you. Thank you for saying this. I made this face when I read that. But maybe it had a special meaning to her and that's why he chose it? I don't know. But still.

I do not understand the Cumberbatch love. Maybe because I am British so he's not exotic and his classism is a huge turn off.

I love Bob Dylan, but can we all agree that "Just Like a Woman" is a creepy love song and an even creepier euology song?

You're allowed to be an asshole in this country and not be punished for it.

It sounds like her situation is more complicated than the average mixed girl. She was born into a latino family and community, as a product of rape. She never knew her father but his race marks her as an outsider in her community. And I'm sure her mother's family and community reminded her that she is the product of…

How do you "leverage" secrets without threatening to release them? It sounds like her objection isn't so much moral as practical, like a robber complaining that another robber actually fired his gun.

I make a habit of keeping the secrets of the most powerful men in my life and then leveraging that information, not leaking it.
